I don't think I was.

All I had to do was start NH in wiz mode and do ^V (level teleport) on the
first move to level 40 (or so).  And *POOF* one over-(and over and over)fried
wizard!.  Doing this gave me the standard "Die? [yn]" message, and after
answering 'n', I got the message:

"lost FR from a non-FR item?"

This shows up in worn.c in a kludge by KAA to fix taking off a fire resistant
item whilst in hell.  This might give you guys an idea where to look.  I
haven't had the time to grind through the debugging yet.
